For now I think it's more coming down from the misery of the first silver bits. Everyone licking their wounds and consoling each other. Though I'm sure there's plenty of suffering yet to come.

Also, I appreciate that Duane is still offering alternative suggestions for Sette's tail.

Don't doodle on it!


In case readers haven't yet gotten the hint, Sette's recounting of what happened to her last night uses the same sort of imagery that we usually see when she lies to herself about the past. Girl needs a therapist, but all she's got is a confused zombie.

I don't understand why Sette would downgrade stabbin' a man in the dick to biting his ear off. That's a thing to be proud of!

I can see why she'd rather stray away from how and why she stabbed him in the dick. And the reason for said stabbing she'd probably like to forget.

After following this comic and Ashley for so long it doesn't surprise me at all that she would take a "ignore him if you don't like him, we should all be grateful for free speech" stance, but the truth is Unsounded is a private website and she's under no obligation to give anyone a voice, especially not someone as disruptive, creepy, and unpleasant as you-know-who. Banning someone from the comments has nothing to do with free speech. And, honestly? Ashley's holding her readers to a higher standard than she does herself. There have been a few annoying pedants in her askbox who she's told to gently caress off about such-and-such topic in polite terms.

Moderation enriches the conversation and keeps things on topic. At this point Ashley's allowing her comic's comments to be ruined for no reason. I think many of us realized that a long time ago and have been ignoring them.

Duane doesn't think much of Quigley's parenting skills and Quigley knows it and he resents Duane like mad for it because he knows there's an element of truth in it and anyway, how dare a dead guy have an opinion on him and Duane knows what Quigley thinks about dead guys and basically they're never going to be friends, no matter how cute and conciliatory Matti attempts to be.

Also he has bias because the rest of the zombies plods in the world are unthinking slaves. It's like trusting a black man in the pre-civil war south if blacks were also known to feast on human flesh when they got loose.

Also they probably beat it pretty hard into wrights in school that resurrecting the dead is impossible. He must've heard tale of a few failed attempts to bring back loved ones that went really bad.

Isn't the biggest thing the fact that he's seen Duane in nighttime zombie mode? Like, he seemed like he was leaning towards believing, and being a part of Team Dwayne, until he saw dude go all Dawn of the Dead and thought to himself "Oh poo poo, dodged a bullet there!"

he's a guy who sneers at p much everybody and is a dick to them because he is acutely aware he's the lowest of the low, and everyone except Matty knows it

he amps up the hate when Duane's around because he's the rotten cannibal corpse who loudly judges him and also really is better than him at doing everything he does. Like, at least when Starfish was around he wasn't the worst guy in the room. He's just also able to work with people he loving hates when the chips are down because well that's what he does for a living.

I think he's so down on Duane in this scene because he was brutally owned by Rahm like 3 minutes ago and is taking out his frustration on a safe target. I mean the reader knows that for all Duane is a jingoistic religious nut he can pretty much always be counted on to do the right thing without hesitation or second thoughts whenever the chips are down. Quigley's a guy who has gotten a bad deal in life and has made it his business to spite those that look down on him. In the end, Quigley does have a sense of right and wrong; he's just shoved them aside while justifying his actions with the lovely world he lives in and the lovely life he's led. Someone who's had it worse and is better (both as a mage and as a person) cuts too close to the underpinnings of Quigley's ego.

Nah, he's more a tragic figure. Real sympathetic, considering how he clings to all that he has left of his wife.

Moderation is a huge pain in the rear, since once you start, you're gonna get constant complaints from whoever you ban and whoever's annoyed at the people you didn't ban. Totally reasonable to not want to wade into that serpent's nest, imo - there are better uses for time and energy than yet another internet comments section.

Is it really being an rear end in a top hat if it's Quigley or is it just karma

That is fair, but she's putting the blame on people for being upset at someone who was trashing the place and saying "well if you all can't be mature enough to accept his immaturity you don't deserve a comments section", which is ridiculous. Making it into a matter of free speech is particularly ludicrous.

Someone using the name "Mad'Monster'Maniac" is apparently quite obsessive in his posting. Last time he came up with a theory that Sette is afflicted with a real-world congenital malformation and managed to get the whole comment thread derailed by his discussion of what he thinks Sette's crotch looks like, combined with his invitation to do a google image search.

Suffice to say, that was not very welcome.

"I can't ban the by far and away worst commenter on my sight that has hijacked the comments section and almost single handedly made them unbearable because of free speech!" *Threatens to take down the otherwise good other then that one person and the responses comment section as a solution, completely forgets the free speech argument* I usually just skip the lousy comments section that has been taken hostage and just check out the ama questions on the tumblr, where you can actually learn some things.

As for things that are actually cool, Duanes confetti attack and the faces in the last panel are hilarious.

'if yall can't deal with unmoderated comments I'll just turn them off' is a perfectly reasonable policy for someone who isn't getting something incredibly rewarding from their comments section
